Prior to 3.17.2, Django REST Framework's request.data parsing in rest_framework/request.py Request._parse() passes the underlying HttpRequest stream to JSONParser and FormParser for application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies, bypassing Django's DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE protection and allowing oversized request bodies to consume additional memory and CPU. This issue is fixed in version 3.17.2.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-400","CWE-770"],"references":["https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/commit/2912dc98042f78e27636551fc22eeaf10f725fdd","https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/commit/82ef7b7e4e0a73ba5c489b465fae7e76d948da4e","https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/pull/10013","https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/security/advisories/GHSA-2m8g-3cmr-wg3w","https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/security/advisories/GHSA-2m8g-3cmr-wg3w"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-24T16:53:35.584907681+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-73228","score":0.00557,"percentile":0.46166,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-2m8g-3cmr-wg3w","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-2m8g-3cmr-wg3w","summary":"Django REST framework: Potential bypass of Django `DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` when parsing oversized JSON and urlencoded request bodies via DRF `request.data`","modified":"2026-09-10T12:25:57.397690757Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"djangorestframework","purl":"pkg:pypi/djangorestframework","ranges":["<3.17.2"],"fixed":["3.17.2"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-3827","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-3827","summary":"Django REST framework: Potential bypass of Django `DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` when parsing oversized JSON and urlencoded request bodies via DRF `request.data`","modified":"2026-09-10T12:15:03.032985100Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"djangorestframework","purl":"pkg:pypi/djangorestframework","ranges":["<3.17.2"],"fixed":["3.17.2"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
